We had to bring the 1925 house to 2023 code which involved un-installing 26 windows that were already nicely installed (in appearance) in the house, reframing them to 2023 standards (at the time) which also involved strapping the bottom of the wood framing with metal straps (mind you this all after we had already completed the inside renovation).  

Well, it sounds like you was tearing it up. 

It sounds like you've had quite the journey in real estate, sorry to hear about the tough eviction experience though! 

Sounds like a great “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” strategy…residual income, but for Tardus. 

At the risk of sounding too dramatic (but I know us on BP can get extreme to reach our goals), I am going to NOT get another residence.

The plan was to have the properties completed in 6 months make some money and be on our way to real estate riches.Turns out a lot of the framing was rotten and we had to completely reframe the back of one of the houses.

Sounds to me like you’re commenting on how the quality of the course is without having seen it.  

Just want to mention that sometimes it works out better to raze an existing property down to like 2 studs and rebuild around it so that it still is classified as a remodel versus a complete new build. 

That all sounds horrific, but how do you inspect the property while at the auction? 

My advice on sub to is as follows1- COMPLETELY understand the process, implications, liabilities, and possible outcomes before engaging or attempting to engage in a sub to transaction2- Complete disclosure going so far as making sure the other part understands the transaction and possible consequences3- Utilization of an attorney experienced in subject to transactions for setup in such a way that provides some protections in case of default or in case the note is called4- Have a backup plan in case the note is called5 - only use for property that has a TRUE positive cash flow unless the buyer has substantial reserves I myself have purchased 8 properties subject to, but 5 of those were commercial properties which often have notes where a subject to is allowable.
